Leading campaigner and educator Diane Danzebrink hosts in-person events in Norwich to help women access better quality menopause information.
A series of in-person events with, Diane Danzebrink, one of the UK’s leading campaigners for change in menopause education and awareness, will take place in Norwich from January to March.
Members of the public can talk to Diane at the Forum on 25 January, Castle Quarter on 15 February and in John Lewis Norwich on 28 March, with the rare opportunity to meet her in person and ask questions about how to access better information about managing the menopause.
Diane Danzebrink is a qualified personal therapist, and wellbeing consultant with professional nurse training in menopause. She is also the founder of Menopause Support and the UK’s #MakeMenopauseMatter campaign. Recently moving to Norfolk, Diane is on a mission to share better quality information about menopause and is keen to support women living in the local area.
Regularly approached by the national press to comment on issues relating to menopause (with appearances on ITV’s This Morning, Sky News, BBC Breakfast and Loose Women), Diane will be sharing copies of her free ‘Understanding Menopause’ booklet at the Norwich events; a factual, evidence-based resource that is endorsed by the British Menopause Society.
Diane comments: “We’re taking Menopause Support and the #MakeMenopauseMatter campaign out onto the streets of Norwich so we can reach people in person and help people get better informed about menopause. Anyone can visit our stand to ask questions about perimenopause, menopause and the wide variety of physical and mental challenges this stage in life brings. And find out more about our campaign to Make Menopause Matter in healthcare, education and in the workplace.”
“We will be in Norwich talking openly about menopause, sharing factual, quality information, and breaking down the stigma about having conversations about the menopause and the impact it can have on women and the people around them. If you’d like to know how to access better information to support yourself, a friend, a relative or to understand more about this phase of life, please come and find us.”
Diane adds; “Approximately 1 in 10 women leave the workplace due to menopause symptoms and, in our Facebook support group of more than 34,500 people, we hear daily, firsthand accounts from women whose lives, relationships and families are imploding due to the hormonal changes that occur during this stage in life. Despite this, GPs and practice nurses still do not receive mandatory menopause training and there is still no Government funded public health campaign for menopause. It is not acceptable that women must struggle during this period of their life without access to specialist medical support and information. We are changing that.”
“I’ve recently moved to Norfolk and want to make an impact here, in my new local community, reaching women who live close by,” explains Diane. “I am really looking forward to meeting people in person, in the city centre.”
